Daylight Analysis

Goal

To direct light as far back as possible into the space

With this shelf I was able to direct the daylight further into the space and therefore zone the electric lights accordingly.

Conclusions:

Lighting Design Creates a beacon for a the campus by having all surfaces lit Correct amount of light for tasks Provides control systems for daylighting Daylighting Directs light further into space allowing more dimming
